"Guys like Anderson, (Keith) Wesson off the bench, and Burson are giving them no minuses, and Hopson is just so consistent." Team consistency was nonexistent in Columbus over the first half of the conference season. The Buckeyes opened the year 0-3 in the Big Ten, won their next four, then lost the next two. The middle stretch featured an upset over then- No. 1 Iowa in Iowa City. As the second half of the schedule begins, Frieder's team, in the midst of a six-game winning streak, has the top-rated scoring offense in the league (87.7 ppg) but the 10th-rated scoring defense (82.2 ppg). "The defense is related to how fast a pace the offense sets," said Frieder. "If you score quick and often, you're going to give opponents that many more possessions. "We've given up a lot of points. It kind of makes me shudder to think about it." pounds, Burson is one of the conference's smallest players, but his outside touch has enabled him to average 13 points: The other frontcourt starters for the Buckeyes (4-5 Big Ten, 13-8 overall) are 6-9 center John Anderson and 6-5 forward Jerry Francis. Despite being the tallest player on the floor, Anderson scored just two points against Michigan (6-3, 15-6). Frieder, however, thinks that Ohio State has improved since the HAIR DESIGNERS.

You remember capitalism's virtues, as taught to you by your Econ professors? Maximum efficiency and happiness at the minimum price. Sounds great. But let's look at the above exhibits and see if they really are as American as capitalism. -Chevrolet - U.S. car companies are hardly in what one would call a perfect capitalist 747-8787 Mon -Fri:9:30- 7:00 Sat: 9:30 - 4:00 1220 S. UNIVERSITY ANN ARBOR, MI 48104 market. In theory, a perfect capitalist market allows anyone with a few bucks and a few guts to try and make a few more bucks. But the big three have the U.S. market nearly cornered. What happens when someone else attempts to corner a little of the big boys' territory? John DeLorean tried. Since then his wife dumped him, he's been tried in court twice, and he's resorted to taking out newspaper ads asking for donations to help him with court costs. Messing with American institutions such as the car companies is as un-American as telling your mom you don't like her home-made apple pie - but what of it? Mousse is all the rage these days. -Hot dogs - Like the automobile market, the hot dog market is a monopoly of sorts. Ball Park Franks and Oscar Mayer are tops. After that, one has to put up with dogs like those served at Michigan athletic events. The latter would most appropriately be served with a keg of Goebel's. The thing that goes best with beer and weenies is... -Baseball - By now all should be convinced that the best things in America have little to do with perfect capitalism, and have more in common with monopolistic markets. Over the past year, it has become apparent that baseball is no longer a free market in which players sell their services at the highest bid. Major league owners suddenly hold the upper hand. Perhaps most aware of this phenomenon are Detroit Tiger fans. Last year they watched Kirk Gibson haggle with Tiger management until the signing deadline. This year, those same fans watched a similar situation unfold not once, but twice. Jack Morris threatened to sell his services outside of Detroit, and brought to several owners what Morris and his agent called "an offer they couldn't refuse." The owners refused.

Lance Parrish laughed at the Tigers' offer to him, and went shopping for a new team. Philadelphia looked as if it might be the city to give Parrish liberty from Detroit management. But the! Phillies made an offer that Parrish called "pathetically insulting." Have the owners, to the horror of all economists, formed an illegal trust? Probably. Is this monopolistic market bad for baseball fans? No way. The owners remember players such as Wayne Garland, one of the early free agents. Once a 20-game winner, Garland signed a huge4 contract with the Cleveland Indians, then promptly did his best to allow six earned runs a game (nearly twice what Morris allowed last year). Garland's career soon ended. Remember John Mayberry? Rennie Stennett? Ed Whitson? How many championships did these men win after they became free agents? Detroit, in its last championship year, had one major free agent1 Darrell Evans. Evans hit only .230 with 16 home runsthat season. The Tigers won with home-grown talent. Free agents have done little to help teams win, and smart baseball minds want little to do with them. Smart fans should want little to do with them, either. Baseball owners of the world;4 unite! C?
